william B eeehe RS Dream.

The Rev. William Beecher, an elder
brother of Henry Ward Beecher, has
been a resident of Chicago for good
many years. A few years ago there was
no more striking figure on the street
than his, but of late years he has been
confined to the house. Four or five
years ago he celebrated his S0th birth
day by preaching remarkable sermon
at the First Congregational Church. At
that time he bore his fourscore years
lightly, but since then he has with
every added year aged rapidly, and is
now very feeble.
a few days before his brother was
stricken down Mr.. Beecher had dream,
which he interpreted to his daughter as
an intimation that he was soon to be-
called away. When the family received
the news of Henry Ward Beeeher's
fatal Illness his daughters were in donbt
as to what course to pursue, fearing
the effect of the shock. They sent for
the family physician, who advised that
Mr.. Beecher be informed at once as to
the contents of the message. One of his
daughters went to his room and said:
Father, you were mistaken as to the
meaning OF your dream. 1t was not
you who was to be called, but Uncle
Henry"
After asking if Henry 9as-dead, and
listening to the particulars, he said Ibis
work is done. l would like to go in the
same way"
Mr.. Beecher has always manifested
the greatest interest in his younger
brother. Henry, and, while not in sym
pathy with him IN some things, has
always been -eady to say good word

Gas Explosion.

SCRANTON, Pa, March 30.-An ex-
plosion of gas occurred in the Vsntorch
mine, of the Delaware e. Hudson Canal
Company this morning. A heading
was being driven from the Vantorch
mine to connect with the Dickson air
shaft, in order to secure better Yentila-
ton. Fire-boss Lewis, and Thomas
Lewis and Edward Owens, miners,
entered the mine and detected the gas.
Fire-boss Lewis, leaving the miners,
retraced his steps, going toward the en-
trance. On the way he metsthe mine
foreman and was explaining the situa-
ton. when the explosion occurred.
The force of the explosion was
terrific. Every door of fifty was torn
from its fastenings and sent crashing
against the walls of the mine. The
miners were carried off their feet and
hurled into the bitches or blown against
the pillars. Fire-ooss Litbsejohn and a
miner named James Morgan were
hurled into what is known as the
dump" a spot in which the water
from the level aceumulates. Three
doors were also thrown into the
dump" Littlejohn's nat was carried
to the top of the shaft, at least 200 feet.
An effort was at once made to rescue
Lewis and Owens, the miners who
went into the Vantorch mine with
Fire-boss Lewis, but the after damps
prevented. This afternoon, their mutt
lated bodies were found and conveyed
to their homes.

HOW GOLD Is EXPORTED.
Something of Interest and New to
Many Readers.

Each keg contains 500, 900 in clear gold.
1t is from the Bank of America, at New
York, that most of the gold is shipped
from that city. The foreign ships sail
ing from this city now carry little or no
gold, although the reverse was the case
years ago. The shipments of gold are
not generally on the banks account. At
a. first glance persons might well sup
pose that when the demand arises for
gold to send abroad the shipper would
only have to send in his order for his
handreds of thousands to the Sub
Treasury, where millions of specie are
on deposit. But there are sufficient
reasons why this plan will not work.
The Sub-Treasury can pay out its coin
only to creditors of the government.
With the Bank of America the associ-
ated banks keep on deposit constantly
an enormous sum of gold, sometimes
amounting to $40, 600, 900. To the mem
bers O. the bank association the Bank of
America issues its own certificates
against these deposits, redeemable on
demand. So, when there is an occa-
sion for making gold shipment, the
coin is prepared for that purpose in the
rear Office of that bank; here 1t is bag
ged and Keyed and made ready for
shipment. Kegs IN which gold is
packed-specie kegs, as they are called
are made of extra hard wood. They
must have an extra iron hoop. Specie
is not thrown loosely into a keg, nor,
upon the other hand, is it carefully
wrapped in tissue paper and piled up
one coin upon another. The keg serves
only as a protection for canvas bags,
into which the gold is placed in the
ordinary hit and miss fassion of pennies
in a mans pocket. Into each bag goes
S., 600, and ten bags fill keg. In the
interest OF security each keg is treated
to what is technically known among
the shippers as the red=taping process.
At each end of the key, IN the project
ing rim of the stages above the head,
are bored four holes at equidistant
intervals. A piece of red tape is run
through these holes, crossing on the
head of the key, and the ends finally
meet in the centre At the point of
meeting the tape is sealed to the kegs
head by wax bearing the stamp of the
shipper. Gold crosses the ocean very
much as does every .other kind of
freight, without any special looking
after. The average rate of insurance is
about 81 900 on shipment of 81 .000, 900.
There are shippers who do not insure.
Having to ship 81, 0OO. 600, they give it
in different parts to half dozen differ
vessels. 1t is strict rule with some
firms never to trust more than $3.50 900
at time on any one ship. A certain
party furnishes all the kegs for gold and
packs them. The man who does this is
a monopolist in his way. Shippers of
large amounts always lose few dollars
by abrasion, but not exceeding sixteen
ounces on a million dollar shipment
The only protection to be found against
abrasion lies in the shipment of gold in
bars instead of coin. Gold bars are not

Heavy Snow.

HALIFAX, March 30.-Heavy snow
storms the past week have completely
demoralized traffic on the Inter-colonial
Railway. Another storm ragged last
night between Campbleton and st:

clearing the road. Hundreds of men
are engaged ploughing and shoveling
through the snow, but it is hard to pre-

many feet deep in some sections, and
it blows back on the track as.soon as
removed.

sniritnalists Protest..

At the meeting of the Spiritual Tenn
pie Association, held on Thursday
evening, Thomas Phillips, who presided.
stated the object of the meeting to be
to protest against legislation which
lnterfered with their rights as citizens.
He believed spiritualism had the right
to investigate by phenomena, and
should have full liberty to investi ate
whatever concerns their welfare.
Reference was made TO the bill recently
introduced in the Legislature by Rep
resentative John Keyser, of the TWEEN
tieth Ward, to punish spiritualistic
mediums. A number of speeches pro-
testing against the passage OF the bill
were made and resolutions adopted, a
copy of which will be sent to the

ST. LOUIS, March 30.-Hon. Thoma
c. Reynolds, committed suicide at the
Custom House this afternoon, by
plugging down the elevator shaft He
fell a distance of eighty feet and crushed
II ais skal. The cause of the rash act
was mental arrangement, superinduced
by the hallucination that he was about
to become insane. A few minutes before
2 O'Clock he entered the building and
sauntered into the United States Court
room. Several persons met him in the
building and he appeared in his usual
humor. He was seen to leave the
United States MarshaI's Office, and
slipping into the elevator gate, passed
out of view. A few moments later he
was brought out of the sub-basement,
dead. In 1860, he. was elected Lieuten-
snt-Governor okthe State of Missouri,
on the same ket with the famous
Governor Caleb Jackson, and in the
civil war sided with the Confederacy.
At the close of the war, he went to
Mexico, and became very intimate with
Macmillan. In 1868, he returned to
st. Louis. He was mem

squelohing Scalpers

New YORK, March 30.-The joint
executive committee of the Trunk
lines and Central Traffic Association
held an impor tant meeting at Commits
siouer Fink's Office, this city, to-day,
and the result of Its deliberations will
be read with interest by railroad men
all over the country, not to mention
the scalpers. The end sought is nothing
less than a complete adjustment
of commissions. A decision was
reached unanimously, and by such
large number of lines that
it is believed that it will prove more
effective than the previous attempts in
the same directions, which were put
into force only on the trunk lines.
This abuse began more than thirty
five years ago, and has grown to such
enormous proportions that it is esti-
mated it is now costing the railways of
the United States, directly and indi-
rectly, at rate of more than IS DOC, 600
annually, and has to great extent
been the means by which the ticket
scalpers have been built up.
The Importance Of this movement
may be estimated, when it is under
SVOOQ ludI tAC Va. lOUS cSoOCldClOuS-
agreeing to abolish ticket commissions
comprise the Central Traffic Associa-
ton, composed of all important lines
east of Chicago and ST. Louis and west
of the western termini of the trunk
lines. territory, which includes. all the.
lines between Buffalo, Salamanca and
Wheeling on the west, and New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore on the east,
the Southern Passenger Association,
which comprises all the important lines
east of the Mississippi and south of
Ohio and the Potomac, and the New
England Association, comprising all
the important railway lines in New
England. The agreement is made bind
ing by another clause, providing that
neither of the agreeing companies will
act as agent for connecting lines, who
continue to pay their agents commits
sions.

What Stars are Thought to be By

that some of the stars had been men
and others different sorts of animals or

becoming a star, and even mention the
particular part of the heavens they are
to be looked for. The bushmen regard
the more conspicuous stars as men,
lions, tortoises, etc., while he sees in the

by girl into the sky, that people might
see their way home by night.
To the Australian two large stars in
the forelegs of Centaurus were two
